"Inventor Compensation: A Global Approach Needed" on October 31, 2012
beginning at 2:00 pm (ET). A panel
consisting of John Conway, Vice President and Global Head of Innovative
Healthcare Patent Support at Sanofi; Donald Dowling of White & Case; and Matthew
Penarczyk, Associate General Counsel of Microsoft Corporation will illustrate
the variations among laws internationally for the remuneration of employee
inventors and give advice on how to implement systems within multinationals to
aid compliance. The panel will also
focus on what kinds of records companies should keep, as well as the negative
repercussions that can follow if an employer tells one version of the facts to
foreign tax authorities and another version to labor regulators.
